EU 139, 142 - In the Next Life

EU 139

. . . the spirits of each world
are to be seen around their own world,
because their characters resemble those
of the people who live there.
They have come from them,
and are there to be of service to them.
. . . It should be known that in the next life
those who stand on high
can watch those below them;
and the higher they are
the wider their field of vision.
They can not only watch them,
but also talk with them.

EU 142

It should be known that on arrival in the next life
all begin by practicing worship
like that they had in the world,
but they are by stages withdrawn from it.
The reason for this is
that all worship remains implanted
in a person's inner life,
and it can only be
withdrawn and uprooted by stages.
